He even had the obligatory celebrity date - accompanied by Hailey Baldwin, daughter of actor Stephen.

Meet and greet: Austin met Justin Bieber during a radio appearance last month

Last month, the aspiring star, who hails from Texas, released his second single Say Somethin.

Back in May, he even met Bieber who also got his big break via YouTube when the young heart-throbs both visited the Z100 radio station in New York City.

Austin has called comparisons to the 17-year-old Baby singer 'flattering.'

He told MTV News: 'It's not that bad of a thing. It's cool because he's such an inspiration to me and he's so
successful, and I just hope that I'll be as successful as him someday.

He has also expressed his gratitude for the chance to follow in Bieber's footsteps.

'Coming from my bedroom in San Antonio to this big world and going from singing covers off my laptop to making music in this nice studio, making professional-sounding music — it's just weird,' he said.

'It's crazy. I can't believe that happened.'
